The psychologist has an ethical and legal responsibility to protect your rights to confidentiality and privacy. However, there are occasions when psychologists are legally required to disclose information, for example, if they believe that you, or someone else, is at risk of harm.
The psychologist will ask you to sign a form that says that you have understood when they cannot keep information confidential.
Your confidential psychology files will be securely stored either in password protected electronic files or locked filing cabinets. Only the psychologist has access to these files.
